Blacklight

We are currently working on a sprint to improve and refine the metadata mappings and indexing for our Alma catalog records in Blacklight, including display, search, and facet fields. We're also in the process of building the underlying infrastructure to search for Primo Central Index records (i.e. the article index) in Blacklight.

To view the current prototype, see http://libqa.library.temple.edu/catalog (please note that you will need to be connected to the Temple network via an ethernet cable or VPN). For further details on the development of this project and upcoming milestones, see the Discovery project pages on Confluence.
